Dear all:
On behalf of Trey and I, I want to say thank you for the support of the Think About It Campaign. We are en route to the Umstead 100 Mile Endurance Race in Raleigh, North Carolina. Trey and I will individually attempt to 100 miles in less than 30 hours.
We want to say thank you as we raised over $40,000 from over 80 donors.
If you want to follow our progress during the race, please follow my Twitter account below (DPalmisanoMAG) or Trey (treyreese). My father will also be using Twitter at DJPNews. My account will be run by my oldest son, so hopefully it will be timely and accurate.
The race begins at 6 am tomorrow. Weather is predicted to be cold.
Again, thank you for the support in the campaign as we will use the money to address the abuse associated with prescription drugs.

Excerpt from the MAG Foundation:
MAG Foundation President Jack M. Chapman Jr., M.D., applauded ‘Team Think About It,’ stating that, “What started as a simple concept evolved into one of our most successful fundraising events ever – and I am excited to know that we are going to use the money that was raised to purchase Naloxone (which first responders can use to offset the effects of drug overdoses) and prescription drug disposal boxes and to produce a video that will promote good prescribing practices.”
Dr. Chapman also thanked an anonymous donor who accounted for $10,000 of the $40,100 that was raised. He says, “This was an incredible act of selfless generosity – someone who simply wanted to help the people who live in this state.”

DJP comment: I want to thank all of the folks on the DJP Update who sent in money for this campaign, especially Dr. anonymous on the DJP Update list who called me and wanted his name listed as anonymous for the $1000. That message was forwarded on to DJP Jr.
Follow the progress of DJP Jr and Trey and in the 100 mile run starting at 6:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time in William B. Umstead State Park in Raleigh, NC.
